New Girl 3.03 Review: Broken Hearted People

Anyone that has yet to watch last
night’s episode of New Girl, titled ‘Double
Date’, than now would be the time to do so. Otherwise, there is chance this
blog could spoil the episode. THIS
REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.

There isn’t a lot I have to say
about this series anymore. That in and of itself is a sign I’m beginning to
lose interest, something I’ve done once before with this series. In this
episode, Jess thinks that Nick, her, Cece and Schmidt should all go on a double
date; of which Winston has decided he’s going to tag along to. Basically the
whole Schmidt dating both Cece and Elizabeth comes to a head, and by the end of
it he’s dating no one.

This wasn’t a terrible episode; it
did finally confront the whole scenario of Schmidt having two women at once. It
was nice to see that that storyline
wasn’t prolonged inevitably. It also had a few good Winston moments, one in
particular being the exchange between him and Ferguson at the very beginning of
the episode. Although, he wasn’t overall as funny as he was in the last two
episodes.

About the only thing I loved in
this episode was the interchange between Jess and Nick at the end. Basically
Schmidt blames the two of them for ruining his love life when he was eventually
going to iron it out, so he promises that he will somehow break the two of them
up. This creates a brilliantly funny exchange between the couple that includes
not liking pears, or pear-shaped people (see Jess), and thinking the moon
landing was fake (see Nick).

Other than that, there’s really
not much else I can say.

My rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Best Line:

“I’m definitely sexually attracted to lady bugs.” – Nick says
to Jess, during their brilliant exchange at the end of the episode.

All right, folks, I’m off to watch Trophy Wife. Then it’s Agents
of S.H.I.E.L.D.
